Now, GM has announced another recall of three popular vehicles equipped with the eAssist hybrid system due to a problem that can increase the risk of a fire. The company is recalling approximately 42,904 of the 2012 and 2013 Buick Lacrosse and Regal, in addition to the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu Eco.

GM became aware of the issue with overheated circuit boards in the fall of last year, and they issued the recall after they received a report of a trunk fire that occurred in March. Approximately 82 incidents of overheated circuit boards have been reported to the company.

Owners and dealers will be notified about the recall, although GM has not released a notification schedule. If a recalled vehicle’s malfunction light illuminates, owners should contact their dealer to schedule an appointment for screening, which takes approximately three hours. GM will replace any defective generator control modules free of charge. If owners have any questions or concerns, they may contact GM at 1-800-521-7300.
